The Awful German Language - Book by Mark Twain

In The Awful German Language, Mark Twain humorously critiques the complexities and absurdities of the German language. Written as a tongue-in-cheek essay, Twain highlights the peculiarities of German grammar, spelling, and syntax, expressing his frustration with its rules and exceptions. His witty commentary includes an exploration of the convoluted case system, gendered nouns, and long compound words that make German notoriously difficult for English speakers.
